Prior to their first meeting last night since the blockbuster move, Toronto had gone 18-10, while Gay put up averages of 20.7 points on 53% shooting as a King.

After hitting rock-bottom in Toronto, at one point shooting a career-worst 38.8% from the field, Gay has found success in Sac-Tow. But he’s not ready to reveal his cards when it comes to potentially opting out and entering the free agent market this summer.

Rudy, 27, has a $19.3 million player option on the last year of his deal.

Per ESPN:

Q: How much are you listening to some of the negative noise that’s out there nowadays about your game?

A: Honestly, of course, at times you think about it. You hear things that make you want to prove people wrong. But at this point I know who I am. And luckily the people here [with the Kings] know who I am and what kind of player I can be for this team. That’s all that really matters. So I just try to tune it out and just play basketball. If I can go out there and do [that], that’s the best I can do.

Q: Which way are you leaning in terms of opting into your contract for next season or opting out?

A: I’m not sure. I have to go into the summer with my people, think about everything, weigh out the pros and cons. I don’t know yet. But Sacramento’s been great to me thus far. Obviously I’m trying to tune it all out right now. All I can think about right now is how great Sacramento’s been to me.

Free agency will become a factor a few months from now, but at the moment, the only answers Rudy is required to give are on the court.

Gay put up 24 points and had 10 rebounds in a satisfying 109-101 win against his former team Wednesday night.
